Russell Stidolph, 35, of 19 Bluff Ave., Norwalk, brought $5,000 with him when he went to Norwalk police headquarters to turn himself in for arrest at 3:22 p.m. Monday. That was the amount of the bond set for the charges he faced after his Porsche 911 took flight on the evening of Nov. 19 and hit the roof of a porch on a Rowayton home.

The call came in at 11:25 p.m. Nov. 19. Police found Stidolph in his upside-down Porsche in the front yard of 24 Highland Ave. The car was damaged on all sides, but Stidolph said he was in no pain. He had lost consciousness and said he didn't remember what had happened. Evidence showed that Stidolph had plowed through a 2-foot-high stone wall and bushes. His car was airborne for 45 feet before it struck the roof overhang and the center support beam of the home. The car then fell backward and landed on its roof, facing away from the house.
